Cindy Lange-Kubick: The Harley Flowers, in the service of beauty - Lincoln Journal Star

Monday, July 11, 2016

Lincoln Christian School and put those lonely flowers in the ground.And those looked so fine he added more near the highway, and a few near Faith Bible, and some close to the back entrance of the Berean Church.“Everybody initially thought, ‘Are these memorials? Did somebody die?’”Nope, he’d say when neighbors stopped by as he watered.Then he’d give his stock answer: “It’s just a spiff-up-the-neighborhood sort of deal.”Harley grew up on a farm in northern Iowa and came to Lincoln in 1970 for graduate school and then work — a career in finance and sales and lending, his last 15 years at Union Bank.His mom was in charge of the flowers at home, the old-fashioned kind like zinnias and four o’clocks, and Harley always liked the beauty, and later, as an adult in the suburbs, the task of tending them, too.“You can’t take the farmer out of the boy, I guess.”He likes the outdoors, so it’s not a burden.The Harley Flowers take an hour or so out of his mornings three times a week, more or less depending on the weather.Watering, weeding, mulching, sticking in more plants when the mood strikes him — his latest flourish, a flowering vine next to a light pole, staked to train it to climb toward the sun.When winter comes and the flowers die, Harley’s been known to plant a few fakes — green stakes with colorful pot scrubbers on top and green duct tape for leaves.“My wife gave me heck for that,” he says. “She thinks they look trashy.”(Neighbor Tim respectfully agrees: “Ugly as sin; but bless his heart.”)Harley just laughs, and shows me the larger version: green stakes with shower loofahs disguised as blossoms. (Slightly unsightly, but in a kitschy sort of way.)Then he takes me on a garden tour — the small bed near Faith Bible, the brave flowers waving at the cars rushing down 84th Street, the red vincas in a hole in the cement, the marigolds in the median.We park the Subaru near 70th Street and the entrance to Edenton South, two retaining walls flanking the street, each a miniature Monet.“I call this my Western adventure,” Harley says.The two beds are his biggest project, filled with his standard assortment of annuals, plus a few zinnias and cosmos, the four o’clocks his mom used to tend.“It looked a little torn up earlier this year, so I decided I might as well plant something there,” he says.He did, and that was the beginning of a mystery to residents who drove in from 70th Street, like Holly Ostergard, president of the Edenton South Neighborhood Association.When she first noticed the flowers this spring — in the spot where the association had torn out overgrown rose bushes — she figured it was the work of the new landscaping service.She figured they'd get a bill.“So I said something to the treasurer, and he said, ‘The lawn guys told me you planted them.'’’Holly and other residents began referring to the mystery gardener as the South Edenton Angel until, like Harley’s next door neighbors, they eventually spotted the suntanned retiree and his watering cans at work.They offered to pay him for his plants.Harley politely refused.“There are so few people that do something ... http://journalstar.com/news/local/cindy-lange-kubick-the-harley-flowers-in-the-service-of/article_d348507f-d9f2-5032-9c10-3c95205ac444.html

According to a publication released earlier this year via the Society of American Florists and backed by various psychological studies, sympathy flowers serve a number of purposes in the bereavement process. Aside from being physical representations of loved ones' sentiments, fresh flowers tend to reduce depression, stress and anxiety while eliciting an overall sense of positivity. These are well known facts to the staff of Jephry Floral Studio whose spokesperson Jeffrey Kerkoff has recently launched the Rhode Island-based company's latest line of tributes and casket sprays.Said Kerkoff, "For centuries, floral arrangements have been a universal element in funeral services, mourning processes and celebrations of life across all cultures and viewpoints. They symbolize love and compassion during times of pain; at the same time, they help generate a sense of warmth and comfort in an otherwise cold and lonely scenario. With our newest offerings, we hope to aid in the efforts of those showing their support to friends and loved ones while continuing to help brighten dark days for their recipients."Among these new releases is the Green Casket Spray providing this color's widely recognized calming effect. Featured in this arrangement are Green Cymbidium Orchids, Trachelium and roses along with Bells of Ireland and white Phlox surrounded by solemn garden foliage.

The Rose Bowl is not only synonymous with the game, which this year pits Big-10 winner Ohio State against Pac-12 champion Washington, but it’s also forever linked with the New Year’s holiday and the grandiose, flower-filled floating masses of creativity, seemingly fallen from the floral gods.The Tournament of Roses Parade, now in its 130th year, on Jan. 1 will cruise 5.5 miles through the streets of Pasadena, California, on its way to the Rose Bowl. The event is televised by ABC, NBC, Hallmark Channel, and RFD-TV, and begins at 10 a.m. central. Besides the parade floats everyone has become so familiar with, with sponsors ranging from municipalities and international clubs to cruise lines to restaurant chains, the two-hour procession also features celebrity musical acts and specially invited marching bands to aid the lively event.But how is small town florist from southwest Arkansas invited to decorate and design one of these monstrous parade floats? By asking Joslin herself, it’s due to years of building her skills and chasing dreams.“I’ve been doing this since I was a teenager,” she said. “My aunt was a florist. She lived in Oklahoma City and came down and taught me the basics of floral design.”Joslin for a decade owned Bridget’s Holiday Shoppe on Magnolia’s square then freelanced in Texas before opening her current downtown floral operation last year. In that span, she gained multiple floral design certifications, including a Louisiana Master Floral license in 1999, an Arkansas Master ... http://www.magnoliabannernews.com/news/2018/dec/14/magnolia-florist-headed-tournament-roses-parade/

Can the season's plentiful poinsettia displays be harmful to you or your pets? - Colorado Springs Gazette

Monday, December 17, 2018

Springs In Bloom florist, 318 E. Colorado Ave. Quite a number of the bad-tasting leaves would have to be consumed to sicken someone. An Ohio State University study showed that a 50-pound child would have to eat more than 500 poinsettia leaves to have any side effects.“Those beautiful flowers you’ve been so wary of keeping in your home during the holidays (lest they poison pets or children) are not toxic,” reports Live Science, citing a study that looked at nearly 23,000 cases of poinsettia exposure reported to poison control centers. None was fatal, and the most severe responses were stomach aches. The poinsettia fears probably were sparked, Live Science writes, by a 1919 case in which a child was said to have died after eating parts of a poinsettia, but neither the death nor the poinsettia connection was confirmed.The milky white sap inside the plant’s stem can cause an allergic reaction — especially among those with latex (rubber) allergies, since latex and poinsettia plants share several proteins. Possible skin irritation from the sap may include redness, swelling and itchiness. It also can irritate eyes. Generally, these reactions don’t require medical treatment unless they are severe and persistent.If you happen to rub poinsettia sap into your eyes... https://gazette.com/life/can-the-season-s-plentiful-poinsettia-displays-be-harmful-to/article_5a5f17ec-f4d6-11e8-8399-cbea3dc81409.html

USA Today that she doesn’t understand the “horrible” social-media backlash against the bright, berry-adorned trees. “I don’t know who first said it. Or why,” Ohio florist Vickie Wenstrup said. “The first thing I saw (on Google) was ‘Melania Trump covers the White House in blood for Christmas.’” While the first lady’s team thought of the red tree concept for the East Colonnade of the East Wing, Wenstrup and about 250 other volunteers labored for three days to make her vision a reality, sticking red berries on white styrofoam cones and working on other White House decorations. While Twitter users claimed the trees reminded them of blood or horror movies, Wenstrup said the trees may have been inspired by the holly topiary trees on White House grounds or the White House Red Room. First Lady Melania Trump defended the red trees this past week, telling people at a town hall that “everybody has a different taste” in the 21st century. “I think they look fantastic. I hope everybody will come over and visit it. In real life, they look even more beautiful,” Trump said. https://www.thedailybeast.com/florist-behind-melania-trumps-red-trees-calls-backlash-horrible
